South Gold Coast QLD Newborn Photographer | Nass’s Newborn Session

Oh so creamy and dreamy Nass’s newborn session was! Nass’s mama came to me and explained that she wanted all creams, beiges and neutrals for her baby boys photography session. Oh boy I was in my element, creating a set up to mama’s requests! I love it when clients lean towards neutral colours. It makes for timeless images.

Nass was a calm baby, he slept his entire session. He was happy to be swaddled for our prop poses but also loved some of the nudie table poses. A content little boy, we were able to achieve so many different poses for his mum and dad to look back on for years to come! Nass was the perfect size baby, ‘well all baby’s are the perfect size’. His little toes and hands were just the sweetest to capture. Of course we can’t forget his little puckered lips! It’s the tiny details that we look back on and remember how small our babies once were!

For Nass’s posed images I got creative and set up lots of dried flowers and incorporated all of the natural textures. There is just something so earthy when utilising baskets and dried goods. The tones that the baskets and dried flower combined make are just the perfect neutral combination. Plus who doesn’t love a baby in a basket!

To complete the session we included mama and dad in some family shots. Mama was just stunning and they paired their outfits perfectly for the look that we were aiming to achieve. We wrapped Nass back up in the stretch jersey swaddle from the princess and pea prop shop, and continued to capture timeless memories for his family.

Newborn Photography Gold Coast QLD | Valentina Rose’s Newborn Session

Tahlia had reached out to me in regards to her premature daughters newborn session. Valentina Rose was born early and needed assistance in the NICU for the first weeks of her life. She did amazing and was reaching all her milestone. However still needed breathing assistance once she was able to come home to her family. Tahlia was worried that they missed the window opportunity to capture newborn images. As Valentina Rose was three months old, once everything settled for their family. I assured her that we would be able to capture Valentina Rose, no matter what age she is.

The Session

Tahlia arrived at the studio with her partner HJ and Tiny Valentina Rose. Valentina Rose at three months was still so little, roughly around 7.5 pounds. She loved being swaddled and slept most of the newborn session, with a few awake images at the end! We chose to incorporate some dried flower crowns from Created by Carli into Valentina Rose’s Session. She looked like a little princess. Tahlia wanted very girly photos, so we used lots of pink tones and a few blue tones from our fine art backdrop.

We had to be intentional with how Valentina Rose’s session went as she was still on oxygen therapy to help her breathe. We selected poses that would be most natural and comfortable for her. Valentina Rose was able to have a few images taken without the oxygen therapy. According to her care providers advice she could go a few minutes a day without her breathing tank. Digital composites were a great way to expand Valentina Rose’s gallery whilst capturing her session. Family images were very important to Tahlia and HJ. We wrapped up the session by capturing the three of them against our cream backdrop.

I met Anna and Phillip at our local playgroup, when Anna was about half way through her third pregnancy. We clicked immediately and our kiddos got along so well! Anna had told me that this was her last baby and I insisted that they came into the studio to capture some photos once their baby girl made her arrival. I wanted to make this session special for Anna and Phillip as it was the completion of their family. By incorporating the raw and the real of both studio and a lifestyle session we were able to capture their older babies in their true personalities.

The Session

Anna and Phillip arrived in the studio with their three young children. We started the session off with wrapping up Selena and capturing a few posed images. Once she was all snug and settled into the environment of the studio. We brought big brother Joseph and big sister Sophia in for a sibling shot. They were too cute!

Capturing three kiddos under three was quite the challenge, however we are always up for the task! Big Brother Joseph was so thrilled to be taking images with his new baby sister. He was quite the poser and had the biggest most beautiful smile whenever he held Selena. Sophia, being two years old was a little more timid. We captured their true authentic bond!

South Gold Coast QLD Lifestyle Photography Session

By incorporating some lifestyle images into Selena’s Newborn Gallery, we were able to capture the true bond between this new family of five. It was so sweet seeing all the kiddos interact with each other. We also captured Anna, Phillip and Selena together. The resemblance between the children was the most sweetest ever. It was hard to tell who baby Selena looked like more!

South East Queensland Newborn Photography | Zahli’s Newborn Session

South East Queensland Newborn Photography | Zahli’s Newborn Session

We had precious Zahli come into the studio to capture her first photos. When Tori contacted me in regards to arranging a newborn photoshoot for her daughter Zahli we were so pleased! Zahli was a tiny little bubba and was super content throughout her entire session. Tori wanted to incorporate a lot of pink tones and florals into the shoot. So we selected the most petite floral crown from Created by Carli and used it on sweet little Zahli. She looked like a little doll.

Safety:

Zahli was such a pleasure to capture and was happy to be posed in any position. Safety is our main priority in our studio, especially when photographing our littlest clients. We always base our sessions off how baby is and if they love a particular pose than we will aim to capture it. Zahli did so well in her froggy pose. Froggy is captured as a composite, which means that it is created using two different images. The first image we support her head and the second images supporting her body. This ensures that bubba’s always are supported during this pose.

Of course we couldn’t forget to incorporate some family shots of mum & dad with baby Zahli. It’s so beautiful when parents can jump in for those first memories. What better way to preserve a moment than to have your family photos professionally photographed.

We strive to take the pressure off parent and want to ensure they have the best and most relaxing experience during their newborn session.

The Session

Burleigh Heads QLD Newborn Photographer | Luna’s Newborn Session

When Candice contacted me in regards to shooting her surprise baby girl Luna’s newborn session, I was just thrilled. Candice being a boy mama to her son wolf, was so used to all things boy! So of course we had to take inspiration and incorporate lots of little girly aspects into baby Luna’s shoot. Normally I am an all neutrals photographer but sometimes when parents want that little pop of colour, I can’t help myself! Luna was just an angel to shoot. She slept the entire time and was so petite. She fit perfectly in our favourite prop, the tiny trader cane pram.

Candice wanted the full experience. So of course we had our hair and makeup artist come in and pamper this freshly birthed mama. We want all our mamas who come into the studio to feel amazing. What better way to do it than to have your hair and make up professionally styled!

Once Candice had finished getting her hair and make up done and baby Luna’s solo sessions were completed. We changed the studio up and progressed onto a mummy and me session. It’s so important that mama’s jump in for at least one photo with their fresh newborn, because let’s face it. Normally mumma is on the other end of the camera taking the pictures.

The Reveal

Our babies only stay little for so long and we want to preserve those precious moments in time. Candice and her husband came in for their photo reveal a few weeks later. They fell in love with how little Luna was in her session. They change so much in just a short amount of time! An album was the perfect keepsake for this family. We arranged an order for a Fine Art Heirloom Album to be delivered to Candice’s home.

Gold Coast QLD Maternity Session | Studio Session

Gold Coast QLD Maternity Session | Studio Session

Luca and I had so much fun getting creative with this maternity session. I had told him about the idea of incorporating gold foil and fine art into a studio session, once the bump got bigger. Luca is great to shoot with because he puts complete trusts into my visions and listens to my directions when it comes to orchestrating our own shoots. I love the creative flair he adds to our sessions too. Experimenting with different angles and lighting.

Capturing the image

When it came time to shoot, I briefly told Luca that we will only spend 30 minutes capturing the images. Well safe to say that 30 minutes turned into 4 hours of laughter and camera clicks! First of all we underestimated the duration of time that it would take to stick the gold foil on. Testing out different lotions and breaking up the foil into different sizes was a tedious job. But we go there in the end and the outcome was amazing.

After we spent an hour applying the gold foil, it was time to shoot. We really experimented with lighting during this session. Starting off with the umbrella light on the left and capturing a few images. We were searching for a bit of dramatic shadow and decided to pop the light on the other side. It made the world of a difference and complimented our vision of the shoot well. The main images that we were aiming for was a lying down reflection images. We managed to capture the perfect angle in order to create this style of artwork.

Editing the image

Once we had finished shooting we popped the images into photoshop and that is when I had free reign to work some magic. I always say its best to try and get the image as best you can straight out of camera. But there is just something that I love when it comes down to getting creative in photoshop. It really opens up all avenues of creativity.

Robina, QLD Cake Smash Photographer

When Rinah reached out to me about photographing her daughters first year cake smash, we were thrilled! I love a good old cake smash.

Firstly Rinah and I went over all the details about her daughter Shareen’s birthday theme. She wanted a lot of pinks and purples incorporated. I knew instantly that we were going to use the fine art floral backdrop from intuition backdrops.

When it came to the day we had designed a silver balloon arch with purple roses and fairy lights for the cake smash.

Shareen was a little shy coming into the studio at first. To help her warm up to the new environment we played her favourite song. Almost immediately her little personality was coming out of her shell.  She wore the sweetest little pink tutu with a floral top and a floral head piece that complimented the cake smash set up perfectly.

We of course started off the session with some portrait shots of Shareen before capturing her with the cake. The portrait session was full of laughter and so much joy from everyone In the studio. Shareen stole our hearts.

Rinah, Shareen’s mum crafted a beautiful pink cake for Shareen to get messy with. Shareen had the biggest smile and would dabble around the cake.

After capture many moments of Shareen smashing the cake, we had organised a bubble bath for her to enjoy.

Burleigh Heads, QLD Milk Bath Maternity Session

Burleigh Heads, QLD Milk Bath Maternity Session.

Milk Bath Maternity Session, Nude Gold Coast, QLD
Pregnancy photography, Belly to baby.

Leisa was absolutely amazing in her Burleigh heads, QLD Milk Bath maternity session! When she asked me about the idea of a milk bath maternity session the first thing that came to mind was bright beautiful florals. Leisa was up for anything and trusted my vision, which I love when clients trust our creativity. The shoot was taken place in Leisa’s bathroom, with a newly renovated bath set up. It was the perfect shoot location. We hand selected rose pink and pastel pink flowers to float in the bath. Next we filled up the bath with full cream milk to create a nourishing and relaxing experience for Leisa.

The natural light into the bathroom bounced off the white walls beautifully, creating the perfect lighting. Leisa looked like a goddess in the water. Firstly we captured Leisa in a white lace robe, paired with light blush lipstick and she looked INCREDIBLE!

Outfits:

We decided to change it up a little bit and pop on a black outfit which contrasted so lovely against the bright flowers and the white milk bath.

I was so excited when Leisa asked if we could do some nudie shots. I am a sucker for fine art photography. Leisa was honestly glowing! These portraits should be printed on a large canvas and displayed for everyone to see! It’s so important that we take the time out to capture your growing belly and changing body. It’s truely an incredible thing to experience! I am so glad Leisa walked away feeling incredibly beautiful and empowered in her pregnancy glow. It is so important to me as a photographer to enhance the experience of my clients and ensure they walk away feeling incredibly amazing and on top of the world!

I love how each maternity session can be completely customisable to your preferences and taste, which best suits your personality.

Christmas Photos with Santa, Miami QLD

Christmas photos with Santa, Miami QLD is so much better outside in the pine forest!

We decided to try something different for our Christmas 2021 photography mini sessions, Santa Claus made his visit to Dreamy Moon Photography to create wonderful memories with all the children and get photos taken in the pine forest.

Firstly we had to set the theme to make this experience perfect for all our families involved. We had decided to craft a large natural dried pine forest wreath using the free fallen foliage off the pine forest floor. We added some dark red jingle bells and berry picks to give the wreath a pop of colour.

Next we brought along our bench seat and added a beautiful cream and red tassel blanket to give a Christmas feel. A sign was then added next to the wreath and bench seat to tie in the Christmas photos with Santa, Miami QLD Set up.

We had so many wonderful families fall in love with capturing photos in the pine forest with Santa. In fact over 40 families ended up booking in. Christmas Photos with Santa, Miami QLD was a great option as it was Covid safe due to the nature of it being outdoors and scheduled sessions.

Families loved the idea of getting out of the standard shopping centres. As a result outdoors in the nature to celebrate the Christmas festivities. We even had the pleasure of accommodating to children who are on the spectrum. Each parent and carer expressed how greatful they were to have this as an option. A way to capture the moment whilst meeting the sensory needs of their children. Allowing them to have space if they need too and run around the pine forest. Or simply being with their family and Santa magically hiding in the background.

Mothers Group Christmas Baby Photoshoot in the Gold Coast QLD

Let me tell you all about the Mothers Group Christmas Photoshoot in the Gold Coast QLD!

Baby Christmas Photoshoot in the gold coast qld
Baby photoshoot, Christmas themed.

So how did we come up with the idea to do a baby Christmas Photoshoot in the Gold Coast?

We had been doing our annual Christmas Mini photoshoots in the Gold Coast pine forest, when I met our lovely Michelle.

Michelle reached out to me after her christmas mini session with such a wonderful idea, to come and capture all the babies at her mothers group. We couldn’t say no to capturing 5 gorgeous chunky babies, so we immediately scheduled a session.

Michelle loves interior design and spends a fair bit of her spare time renovating house, when she’s not being a mumma. We decided to capture the shoot next to Michelle’s stone fire place and grand Christmas tree.

Firstly we captured the babies in a little red car. They were all so delightful and full of laughs and smiles. Each baby had their own little personalities come out in front of the camera and was too adorable! After we had finished shooting the babies in the little red car, we moved onto the next prop set.

We popped all 5 babies into beautifully wrapped Christmas present boxes next to each other. They all coordinated so well with their little Christmas outfits. Now you can imagine what it’s like to get 5 different babies attention. We had to get real creative and pulled out the rattles, squeakers and little stuffed teddy bears. Some of the babies loved the attention and others, well lets just say it’s a big job posing and being a model! For the babies that were happy during the photos, we moved onto one more set. Santa Claus! It was so sweet watching the babies interact with Santa Claus, and to capture their first Christmas on camera.

In the end we captured some beautiful photos of the Christmas Baby Photoshoot in the Gold Coast. They were genuine and candid, filled with both laughter and tears.
